Praying through Colossians | Colossians 1 and 2 Aug 02, 2026

Show notes

After a short season away, TA shared several ways the Lord met him while praying through Colossians this summer. Rather than picking back up in the book of Acts, he invited us into what God had been shaping in his own heart. This message centered on finding our identity and purpose in Jesus, remaining rooted in the gospel, and pursuing an everyday relationship with Christ that is marked by gratitude, dependence, and prayer.

Jesus Is the Messiah | Acts 17:1-15 Jul 26, 2026

Show notes

In Acts 17:1-15, Paul faithfully proclaims one central message wherever he goes: Jesus is the Messiah. As he preaches in Thessalonica and Berea, the same gospel produces two very different responses. Some reject Jesus because they refuse to surrender their own kingdoms, while others eagerly receive the message and search the Scriptures to see that it is true. “Messiah” points to God's promised King who would suffer, die, rise again, and reign forever. Paul believed Jesus was the Messiah because his life perfectly fulfilled the Scriptures. The sermon and Scripture leave us with one question: Will you receive Jesus as your Messiah and King, or will you reject him?

A Spirit-led Attentiveness to the Needs of Others | Acts 16:16-40 Jul 19, 2026

Show notes

Looking out for our own interests comes naturally, but paying attention to the needs of others is the work of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas model a Spirit-led attentiveness to people in very different circumstances—a slave girl, fellow sufferers in prison, and a jailer headed toward despair. As the Spirit led them to see and serve the people in front of them, the gospel continued to advance. The same invitation is before us today: depend on the Spirit to notice the needs of others and respond with the hope of Jesus.

When God Changes Your Plans | Acts 16:1-15 Jul 12, 2026

Show notes

Life rarely goes according to plan but Acts 16 reminds us that God is still accomplishing his purposes in the middle of unexpected turns. As Paul experienced conflict, closed doors, and surprising detours, God faithfully guided him toward opportunities he never could have planned. Because God is in control, we can trust him when our plans change and believe he is at work even when we can't yet see what he's doing.

Work In Progress | Acts 15:36-41 Jul 05, 2026

Show notes

Acts 15 reminds us that God is still at work in unfinished people. Even in the middle of conflict between Paul and Barnabas, God continued advancing His mission and redeeming John Mark's story. Rather than defining ourselves or others by a single failure or season, we're invited to see every story through the lens of God's redeeming grace, trusting that he is faithful to complete the work he has begun.

Guarding the Gospel | Acts 15 Jun 28, 2026

Show notes

Acts 15 records a pivotal moment in the life of the early church as believers wrestled with an essential question: What is required for salvation? Rather than adding requirements to the gospel, the apostles affirmed that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus alone. As they sought God's wisdom together through Scripture, testimony, and the Spirit's leading, the church preserved both the truth of the gospel and the unity of the body.

Living for Gospel Impact | Acts 14 Jun 21, 2026

Show notes

Many followers of Jesus want to make a difference for the gospel but can feel discouraged when they don't see immediate results. In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas remind us that God is always working, even when we can't see it. Their ministry was marked by supernatural grit, gospel-given security, and clarity of calling. As we abide in Jesus and depend on the Spirit, God can use us to faithfully help others know Jesus and become more like him.

Don't Miss Your Moment | Acts 13:13-52 Jun 14, 2026

Show notes

In this message, Marvin Walker reminds us that God is often at work long before we recognize it. As Paul preaches the gospel in Acts 13, we're invited to see God's sovereign hand throughout history, respond to Jesus by faith, and resist the temptation to remain neutral when God calls us to obedience.

Great Days Ahead | Acts 13:1-12 Jun 07, 2026

Show notes

In this message, we looked at the church in Antioch, one of the most influential churches in the first century, and the birthplace of foreign missions. As we examine what marked this church, we're reminded that it's the same God, the same gospel, the same Spirit, and the same mission today. Through four questions, we were challenged to be fully present, fully expectant, and eager to join God in what he wants to do in and through his church.

When Life Feels Hopeless and Helpless | Acts 12 May 31, 2026

Show notes

Acts 12 reminds us that it is the norm for God's people to find themselves in situations so far beyond their control that they feel helpless and hopeless. James is executed, Peter is imprisoned, and Herod appears to have all the power. While Herod displays his control, the church prays earnestly, Peter rests peacefully, and God continues to accomplish his purposes. This passage invites us to trust God's sovereignty, to pray fervently, to find our peace in who God is, and to remember that, in the end, there is only one who is truly in control.
